Q: hi Bill, will this pump work turning in either direction or is it just one way, if just one is it clock or counter clock ways, also what is the minimum rpm that the jump can run at. thank you jeff bby Jeff on June 16, 2012

A: I have checked with CAT's tech support on this and am being told it can turn either way. Normal rotation is the shaft turning toward the manifold. If the pump is run in reverse the oil needs to be filled to the top of the sight glass. The minimum RPM is 100.by Mike, Product Expert

A: This pump mounts to a 3/4" engine shaft. More than likely your 5.5hp engine does have a 3/4" shaft, however you should confirm it before making the purchase. All engines that size will have either a 3/4" or 7/8" diameter shaft. Although the size difference is minimal, it makes a huge difference in determining the compatibility of a pump.by Mike, Product Expert

Easy Replacement

This kit includes a bolting plate that fits the Honda GC160, 5 HP bolting flange perfectly. It's a 10 minute job and you are ready to go.

The pump can be mounted upside down. Swap the oil drain and fill plug (30 sec) if you need the alternate orientation. Wouldn't fit in the normal as-delivered orientation on my pressure washer. Nothing in the instruction sheet, but saw a commercially built pressure washer with the CAT pump upside down, and CAT customer service emailed me back to say the alternate orientation would work.

This is a perfectly functional replacement for the Karcher 2400 pump that has been problematic from the first.

Wish I had known the difference in pumps when I first bought a pressure washer. I would have bought a machine with one of these.
